Description
The Socio-Legal Studies Association (SLSA) Research Grants Scheme provides practical support for research across the breadth of socio-legal studies. It aims to enable work for which other funding sources are unavailable rather than concentrating on a single subject or research theme. A proportion of the funding pot is reserved for researchers in precarious employment.
The SLSA Board has awarded more than £200,000 through the scheme. Supported projects illustrate its broad scope, including asylum and gender stereotypes, drug testing, legal futures in museums, legal education and generative AI, forced displacement in Mexico, labour law and female delivery workers in China, legal consciousness in Islamic-only marriages, and Sámi experiences of discrimination.
